Billy took a bite of muffin

Put an arm around Ruechari

A clear thought he could not summon

His eyes drifted closed suddenly

Billy snuggled in deep

Not wanting to wake from his sleep

A gentle kiss pressed to his eyes

"Five more minutes," was his reply

He felt her breath caress his face

As with her laugh, he was graced

He held on tight

Although she started a tickle fight

"You don't play fair!"

He had not a care

As ran his fingers through her hair.

"You may not have things to do

But I can't sit around like you."

"All I'm asking is five more minutes, Rue."

She easily conceded

She was all that he needed

That she was his, could still astound

He rested his hand on her belly round

His heart felt so much joy

"You think it be a girl or boy?"

She smiled, "Haven't got a clue,

But I know someone who,

May have an opinion or two."

As if on cue

Two eyes of blue

Could be seen peeking at the foot of the bed.

"I want a baby brother!"

"You do?"

"Yeah, I think it be loads of fun."

"And as for my cowgirl, there's only one."

"That's right," she said with a bounce.

And on her parents she did pounce.

He cuddled with his two favorite girls

And would not release

Through giggles and squirms

And squeaks and squeals

He felt something strong

And Oh, so real

The smile on his face would not cease

His heart felt whole

He found

Peace
